Got the TI out Saturday afternoon on tampa bay (sailed from Macdill to Beer Can Island) in a stiff breeze. Threw the Cooper and graghnel anchor (only line....no chain) a few times in both sand and mud. The graphnel dragged. .. Cooper held firm...both with similar scope let out (tested at 5 to 1...which is less than the 7 to 1 recommended. .. the more scope the better). Although the Cooper is a little larger, you don't have to screw with those damn folding flukes! ! One trick to get the Cooper (or any penetrating anchor) to set more firmly is to give the AI/TI a few pedal strokes once the anchor is set. .. this sets the anchor better and confirms you are not dagging.
